These awards offer a valuable opportunity to scope out what is technologically possible in the short term and what can be achieved in the future.” 

“I’m honored to support this mission that brings together some of the sector’s smartest and most ambitious teams, that are not afraid to challenge the status quo. It’s rewarding to see that so many players are finding creative ways to make sustainable buildings and construction more of a standard for Germany.”

While the focus and priorities around climate action and sustainable innovation continue to evolve, the DNP remains the place where you can truly feel the powerful momentum of brilliant minds driving meaningful change. 

Travel and hospitality was one of the first industries to embrace sustainability with foresight—bringing out the best of travel by nurturing cultural exchange, taking responsibility as global citizens and creating value for local economies. I’m incredibly proud to play a role in identifying and celebrating the enterprises and leaders who pursue ESG in travel and hospitality with exceptional commitment and vision.”

About Prophet

SAN FRANCISCO – Prophet, the uncommon growth company, announced that it has supported Swiss news ​company​ 20 Minuten in developing and launching a bold new brand strategy, visual identity and digital format. 

20 Minuten is one of Switzerland’s most widely read media platforms. The new identity signals 20 Minuten’s transformation from a commuter newspaper to a dynamic, digital news source. It was unveiled and launched at a ​client​ and press reception in Zurich on October 2, 2025. 

The new format addresses a gap in the Swiss media landscape, appealing to a younger demographic by seamlessly combining credible journalism and engaging content in one service. The new platform covers a full spectrum of news, from politics to sport, entertainment, and lifestyle. 

A significant part of this project was refreshing 20 Minuten’s visual identity, reimagining the brand’s iconic blue tile that was originally part of its logo. This now acts as a flexible design system capable of showcasing multiple stories, moods, and messages at once. Prophet’s visual system allows the brand to better reflect the breadth of content that 20 Minuten delivers daily, while retaining clarity and accessibility. 

The new identity is being rolled out across ​​digital product platforms, ​​digital-out-of-home (DOOH)​​, as well as a new campaign​​. It represents a confident next chapter for a brand that continues to resonate with its audiences across all touchpoints.  

Cyrill Blaser, Associate Partner at Prophet, said, “This is a pivotal moment for 20 Minuten as it steps into a digital-only era. With clarity and ambition, the team has set a clear course for the future —resulting in a sharper, fresher brand to lead the next chapter of Swiss media.” 

Victoria Rispy, Head of Marketing at 20 Minuten, said, “​​​​Central to our new identity is a promise to Switzerland: we’re delivering your perfect content mix, blending trusted journalism and stories that inform, entertain and inspire.” 

About the 20 Minuten Group 

20 Minuten was launched at the end of 1999 as a commuter newspaper aimed at a young, urban audience. It quickly developed into the leading digital media brand in German-speaking Switzerland, French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino. 

20 Minuten produces journalism that brings people together and offers — all in one compact platform — the perfect mix of content covering everything that moves, affects and enriches people in Switzerland. 

20 Minuten provides news from Switzerland and around the world, along with sports, entertainment, and inspiration, as well as an actively used community section. The journalism of 20 Minuten is reliable, concise, responsible and balanced, enabling readers to form their own opinions.

About Prophet

LONDON – Prophet, the Uncommon Growth Company, announced its ongoing collaboration with global insurer Beazley to develop and launch Hats, a bold new brand campaign. 

Beazley is a global specialty insurer with more than four decades of experience in underwriting and claims services across a broad range of risks. Their Hats brand campaign brings a fresh, visually arresting twist to how Beazley tells its risk story, building on its 2023 brand refresh, also led by Prophet. 

The visual centerpiece of the campaign is a striking series of hand-painted, photorealistic portraits of Beazley’s historic bowler hat, each uniquely styled to represent a different area of specialist risk. The concept creatively illustrates Beazley’s ability to “wear many hats” in service of its clients, reinforcing the breadth and depth of its expertise. 

Beazley’s story began with two chairs and a hat stand, eventually leading them to Lloyd’s of London. Their iconic bowler hat, reimagined by still life painter Joel Penkman, takes center stage in a series of photorealistic portraits, each styled to represent a distinct area of risk. 

Launched on September 22, the Hats campaign is now live across London Underground stations and major transport hubs, bringing bold storytelling and a quietly confident brand presence. 

Chris Benson, Associate Creative Director at Prophet, said: “Congratulations to Beazley on brightening up the journey of millions of London commuters with your bold new campaign. In a traditionally reserved insurance market, it’s exciting to work with a client unafraid to break convention and push boundaries in creativity.” 

Georgina Peters-Venzano, Chief Marketing Officer at Beazley said: “Our journey began in 1986 as a London-based insurer. Now a global specialty carrier, we’ve come a long way, but the hat stand and trusty bowler have always been a core part of our identity – humble, quirky and full of ambition. With this campaign, we’ve embraced the essence of our brand heritage to showcase our deep, wide-ranging expertise. It’s the nostalgia and perspective woven into the creative that truly sets it apart. We value our partnership with Prophet and the impactful, artistic work we continue to create together.”

About Prophet

BERLIN/MUNICH – Prophet, the world’s leading strategic and creative growth consultancy, is proud to have been recognized once again by brand eins as a top consultancy in Germany for 2025. The award from the leading Hamburg-based business magazine is considered the most prestigious in the consulting industry in Germany, as it requires dual endorsement: recommendations from both peers and clients.

Together with Statista, brand eins has been a benchmark of the consulting industry for the twelfth consecutive year. A total of 288 companies and eight consulting networks made it onto the 2025 lists, with awards given in 38 categories, including 21 functional consulting fields and 17 industries.

A big “thank you” to our clients and our team, as Prophet was honored in five categories at the brand eins awards. This recognition not only affirms the quality of our work but also highlights the value of our services.

“We are particularly pleased that Prophet is perceived as ‘the uncommon growth company’ and stands out like no other consulting firm for the unique combination of growth and brand. Our clients appreciate this positioning, which is perfectly reflected in the rankings,” says Tobias Bärschneider, Senior Partner and EMEA Regional Lead at Prophet. “The awards in the areas of innovation, growth, brand, and strategy development are at the core of our positioning and how we create value for our clients.” Additionally, Prophet’s first-time recognition in the consumer goods & retail category is exciting, reflecting our quality work for leading consumer and retail brands.
